Does anyone know how to get the bus to say out of service on this route?

David just an idea on city centre terminus (newgate st) I think it would be good to add a layvover bay because when you are waiting to depart, you just hold up traffic.

thanks,tom

Just hit "Ziel" button and enter 105, and you have your "Sorry Not In Service".

Great for runs up to Slatyford Depot.

@ Joel:- Great pics! Newgate St was a right mess when they were building that Eldon Sq Extension... but it always seems eerily quiet down there now, for where it is!

Just annoying when theres cars waiting to go past and you are waiting to leave thats all

Joel has given you the solution that applies in the real world Tom; you don't wait over at Newgate St. You need to arrive there at a time that allows you to pick up your new passengers and depart, without a delay.

If you're setting a tour up that starts at Newgate St, set the OMSI time to the departure time then pick up your passengers and get on your way.. If you're arriving at Newgate St (inbound) you'll have to use the St. James Boulevard-Westgate Rd-Grainger St loop to pace yourself for your arrival into Newgate St. Busy City Centre operations are challenging for bus drivers in the real world too ..... and sometimes buses do block traffic in Newcastle.

Also, we don't have the perfect roads splines yet in OMSI, so layover bays aren't provided too well, at least not with the road types required for this map.

David how did you know how to create the routes so well? Have you had experience in the past with route building on other games? I want to create a Leicester route but the builder looks frigging complicated, I consider myself quite computer and gaming savvy, been playing games since I was about 4-5 but the route building looks too complex for me

David used to live in Newcastle so he has a good idea of the surroundings. During route buillding he also took several trips along the lines to make note of any small changes in the route and scenery.

X82 extension is due tommorow and you can find the link to download it on www.omsi-addons.co.uk or the links above in DavidR's post

Using the editor looks hard partially because it initialy is, however once you have learnt what most things do (how to load objects and road and then to rotate and place them), you can either build on those skills or even just create a pretty good map with just them.
